Juventus vs Ajax LIVE
Uefa Champions League
Quarter-final, second leg (aggregate 1-1)
Venue: Juventus Stadium, Turin
Kick-off: 8pm GMT

Juventus welcome Ajax to Turin on Tuesday night with their Champions League quarter-final tie hanging in the balance.

Cristiano Ronaldo, playing in his first game since his hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in the previous round, put the Bianconeri in control of the first leg with a stunning header.

But a fine strike from David Neres ensured things ended all level in Amsterdam with all to play for.

Team news and line-ups

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini (calf) and striker Mario Mandzukic (knee) have yet to recover from injury and will miss out, while Max Allegri has confirmed Douglas Costa (thigh) is not 100 per cent fit.

Perhaps pivotally for Ajax, Frenkie de Jong should be fit enough to feature on Tuesday night despite limping off on Saturday with a suspected hamstring problem.

The Barcelona-bound youngster has been named in Erik ten Hag’s 22-man squad for the trip to Italy.

Juventus XI: Szczesny, De Sciglio, Bonucci, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Pjanic, Can, Matuidi, Bernadeschi, Ronaldo, Dybala

Subs: Pinsoglio, Khedira, Barzagli, Kean, Joao Cancelo, Bentancur, Spinazzola

Ajax XI: Onana, Veltman, Blind, De Ligt, Mazraoui, De Jong, Van de Beek, Schone, Neres, Tadic, Ziyech

Subs: Varela, Sinkgraven, Huntelaar, Mahallan, Dolberg, De Wit, Ekkelenkamp


Score prediction: Juventus 3-1 Ajax (4-2 on aggregate)

Ajax will approach with the same ambition and determination that saw them stun Real Madrid but in Juventus, they are up against opposition made of sterner stuff.


TV channel, live stream and online coverage

The match will be televised live on BT Sport 3. BT Sport subscribers will be able to stream the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.


Head to Head history and results (h2h)

Ajax have won only two of their 13 European fixtures against Juventus and none since 1974
